The Frontline Scorecard is the World Bank’s new country assessment tool that estimates the resilience of a country’s health system to natural hazards (disasters) and climate change. Policy makers can use the scorecard as a systematic screening tool to identify focus areas for building more resilient health systems and strengthening their climate and disaster risk management (CDRM) capabilities. It consists of over 80 individual indicators, most of which are quantitative. The final scores are stoplight based (“red,” “yellow, “green”), making it easier to spot strengths and existing gaps. The time needed to conduct the rapid assessment varies from one week to a month, depending on the size and complexity of the country’s health system, along with data availability. Results can help to identify existing gaps, target specific in-depth analyses and inform investment operations, including instruments like the World Bank's Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Options (CAT DDOs).
